In an apparent swipe at the Congress after it questioned the appointment of a retired Supreme Court judge as a governor, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju has said the “whole ecosystem” is once again in “full swing” over the issue.
They should better understand that they can no longer treat India as their “personal fiefdom”, the minister said, without naming anyone.
The government on Sunday appointed six new faces as governors, including Justice S Abdul Nazeer (retd), who was part of the historic 2019 Ayodhya verdict, and four BJP leaders, besides carrying out a rejig of the gubernatorial posts in seven states.
